Detailed Description

Rein PSH0608 is a power steering return hose designed for the return side of the steering hydraulic system, where fluid travels from the rack to the pipe. It is engineered as an OE-quality replacement for 2016 Nissan Altima models built from 10/15 and 2017-2018 Nissan Altima applications. The hose construction uses NBRCR rubber material and includes the fitment-specific details needed for a proper replacement on the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references Nissan 497253TA0A for the same application. If you are replacing a leaking or deteriorated return line on a Nissan Altima, PSH0608 offers a direct replacement path that follows the original hose layout.

What This Part Helps Address

• Power steering fluid seepage from a cracked or aged return hose
• Softening, swelling, or hardening of the hose from heat exposure
• Noise or steering feel issues caused by low fluid level from a leaking return line
• Improper hose routing after prior repair work
• Wear at mounting points, brackets, or hose contact areas

Installation Notes and Tips

Install PSH0608 on the listed Nissan Altima applications only, and verify the rack-to-pipe routing before removal. Inspect adjacent clamps, brackets, and connection points for wear or corrosion so the replacement hose seats correctly and maintains the original path. Clean the mating areas before installation and confirm there are no kinks or twists after routing.

Fits 2016 Nissan Altima, rack to pipe from 10/15. Fits 2017-2018 Nissan Altima, power steering return hose from rack to pipe.
